Sock Knitting Class

Sock Knitting Class!!!! Anybody who knows the basics of knitting…. Knit, purl, increase & decrease can benefit this class. Join me as we'll be learning to cast on with double pointed needles, and join in the round. We'll be building a simple cuff down sock with a traditional turned heel built with a heel flap (the best fitting & most proper heel). A simple foot & shaped toe for Very practical and good fitting sock that is very wearable, washable and stays up. I will be teaching in Continental style, but of course you can knit in whatever style you know how. Socks are fabulous and fairly quick knitting. They are small enough to travel with you anywhere. They make excellent Christmas gifts as well.

What you get is a digital download document that has links to the pattern and to 8 different videos to guide you through the process.

 When you learn to make things with your hands, you begin to awaken an awareness of the beauty and value of things in your life. Handmaking teaches us about slowness: the antidote to brevity and efficiency. It shows us, through the patience and skillfulness of our own hands, what goes into a thing.

When we put those long efforts into bringing beauty into the world, we are honouring that which made us by creating as we have been created. We are taught to respect the slow, attentive piecing together of the life we yearn for. Stitch by stitch, we apprentice the craft. We work in tandem with mystery, feeling its rhythms awaken in our bone-memory.

As the hands work, the mind is stilled and a greater listening is engaged as we drop down into the deep rhythm of devotion, where the whole world is in communion. The ferns unfurl, the daffodils trumpet, the rosebuds fatten, and the song of creation can be heard." Toko-pa Turner, excerpt From Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home -Toko-pa Turner
